The San Cristobal Fresh Pack Sampler Includes:
1 x San Cristobal Revelation Legend (6 1/4" x 52, ●●●●○ Medium-Full, Rated 92). Selected by Cigar Aficionado as the 2014 #18 Cigar of The Year. From its silky Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper to a binder and filler of the finest Nicaraguan tobaccos, this cigar represents a work of true inspiration. Chocolate in color and wafting a delicious alfalfa aroma, you’ll struggle to remember to cut the cigar’s triple cap before rushing to get a flame to its solidly packed foot. Some definite Pepin spice is apparent during the initial stages but as the wheel of time revolves, ever-shifting flavors of cream, roasted nuts, espresso, toast, and cedar swirl through your palate and into your subconscious.
1 x San Cristobal Elegancia Imperial (6" x 52, ●●●○○ Medium). This is a marvelous stick, loaded with choice Nicaraguan longleaf tobaccos beneath a silky, sultry Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. After inhaling the musty, grassy aroma of the shade wrapper before the solidly packed barrel is lit, the nose is primed for retro haling rich, thick smoke which will first coat the palate with nutmeg, toasted almonds, and a touch of that Pepin-trademark black pepper. A buttery, spicy, nutty flavor almost like a rye cinnamon roll heralds the start of the second third, while the finale is marked by the arrival of robust coffee tempered with sugar and cream to wash it all down.
1 x San Cristobal Revelation Prophet (5" x 54, ●●●●○ Medium-Full). From its silky Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper to a binder and filler of the finest Nicaraguan tobaccos, this cigar represents a work of true inspiration. Chocolate in color and wafting a delicious alfalfa aroma, you’ll struggle to remember to cut the cigar’s triple cap before rushing to get a flame to its solidly packed foot. Some definite Pepin spice is apparent during the initial stages but as the wheel of time revolves, ever-shifting flavors of cream, roasted nuts, espresso, toast, and cedar swirl through your palate and into your subconscious.
1 x San Cristobal Quintessence Robusto (5 1/2" x 50, ●●●●○ Medium-Full). Quintessence is produced in the world famous My Father factory in Nicaragua. The wrapper leaf is a beautiful reddish brown Ecuadorian Habano and the filler and binder blend consist of premium Nicaraguan leaves from the Garcia family farms. Solid construction means a plentiful draw and razor-sharp burn with minimal necessity of touch-ups. Thick clouds of silky blue smoke present a lovely introduction of cedar and bread notes, followed up promptly by a rich core of spicy Nicaraguan pepper. A main note of refined raw tobacco lingers throughout the experience, while hints of cinnamon and nutmeg are detected through the nose. The finish is sweet and clean.
1 x San Cristobal Clasico (5" x 50, ●●●●● Full, Rated 92). Selected by Cigar Aficionado as the 2022 #19 Cigar of The Year. The San Cristobal Classico is a Nicaraguan puro featuring only the best filler and binder tobacco as well as the Pepin signature, flawless Nicaraguan wrapper. A rich and full-bodied smoke is what people have come to expect from a Pepin blended stick, and that is exactly what you get here. At first look you will be astounded by the quality of the wrapper. Another marvel will be how smooth the draw is, considering how densely packed with tobacco this cigar is. Initial puffs, as well as final ones, are like sipping through a straw. Initial light and smoke have a very small taste of pepper, not what you may be used to from a Don Pepin Garcia blend. Halfway through, the San Cristobal Classico gives a very pleasant surprise, a slight fruity, almost cherry-like, taste.
